I'll finish off with the one novel I reviewed this week, The Hocus Pocus Handbook by Ann Aguirre. Cozy fantasy romance with fae. This wasn't a five star read, but it was a nice one.

I recommend this and the price is right! Actually that implies that it's not worth much but that's not true. It's great so I guess while it's free, the price is wrong. Anyway, read this and if you like it, you can buy other fiction from P.E. Larsen.

"The Last Goblin Queen: Dragons of the Crystal Forest" is available free as Kindle ebook until Summer Solstice!

Read it and leave a review...

Where There's Smoke

There's something about April that feels quietly full of possibility, the kind of month where you half expect something a little unusual to find its way to you, and WHAT A LATTE BOOKS has always felt like an April sort of story to me 📖

Have you ever found yourself unexpectedly moved by a fictional character in a way that stayed with you?

It took a little longer than anticipated, but here is the final of six stories, 'The Snow Storm' by Thomas Richards (1800-1877). The story tells the adventurous escape of a cattle trader from the hands of a murderous band of robbers one stormy winter night.

This completes my little project of creating the first freely available, #DigitalEdition of this set of stories by Richards, a shamefully neglected early contributor to the #WelshWritingInEnglish school during the late #RomanticPeriod.

The pen-ultimate part of the 'Wanderings in Wales' short story series by Thomas Richards is now available on my website. 'The Gipsies of Mowddwy' tells the story of cold-blooded murder without any redemption or remorse.

Hot off the digital press: the fourth of six short stories by Thomas Richards.

'Anna of Llynn' tells the sad tale of two young lovers' happiness spoilt by a third jealous heart.

This story comes with a content warning about descriptions and portrayals of mental illness.

The third story in the series of 'Wanderings in Wales' is now up on my website. Frankly, 'The Spectre of Pont Vathu' is my personal favourite from the whole set. It's a thoroughly creepy story that knows exactly when and where to stop.

I've started editing my way through a small collection of short stories formerly published in the New European Magazine between 1822 and 1823. Here's the first of eventually six stories: 'The Funeral' by Thomas Richards.
